Yep, I nice run in Bonney Lake for a test. On the run home I had a lot of gear oil leaking - have to seal that up. Mike wasn't sure that a leak was sealed and plain ran out of time. He's going to be running the hammmers and then the rig will be going back for a touch up anyway. There are a few things that we didn't get to.

There some vibration in the rear end to deal with as well. It'll be ready for Evans Creek on the 5th as well.

Already been done. I ran Busy wilde from one end to the other without a single dent.

The steering with the new RAM was awesome.
The new suspension worked great.
Motor was awesome.

The primary problem was the vibration in the driveline and noise in the t-case. The noise may be normal - not sure yet. I am used to the quiet Toyota stuff.

 

[jrgaylor]

looks like you ran out of ramp

You do some great work! That is one of the nicest builds I have ever seen - that actually gets used. Very nice job. I like it a lot.

That's a Dana 44 for another project.

Buy Toyota? The only thing left in my rig that's Toyota is the body and frame.
